That's ok, since the OMNI forum is off-limits to Apple II users anyway,
as is an increasing %age of AOL.  The Windows version of AOL uploads
files in a form such that the Apple II software can't download them, and
they refuse to fix this bug (yes, it's a bug, AOL is supposed to be
relatively platform neutral).

It doesn't help that what A2 users are left all call in with their PCs
and Macs, giving AOL Inc ammo that "Nobody uses the A2 software anyway,
so why should we bother".
